Origin[]
Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac (1778 - 1850) was a French chemist and physicist most famously known for his discovery of the chemical compound of water. That is it made of two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen, for his work on two laws relating to gases and for his work on alcohol-water mixtures. During research with gases he co-discovered boron and with Louis Thenard developed a method for quantitative elemental analysis. During this research he discovered iodine as a new element and accidently developed a liquid cyanide.
Effects[]
Releases liquid hydrogen cyanide. Small amounts (several milligrams) can be safely touched or digested, but spilling large amounts will cause toxic shock within hours.
